Commissions are a bit tricky, in that they are designed to fit a specific taste in Art. That being said, many clients don’t know exactly what they want and may leave it up to me. My first commissions were copies of masters works like Mondrian and Daumier—with more recent work inspired by Matisse. There are several pieces in this collection that are originals—The Ship, Chancellor Alberta, Jimmy Peppertree and Under The Stairs.
